The festival has a great line-up of teachers like Csaba Wagner, Zoltan Kiss, Dirk Ellerkamp, Stefan Geiger and Peter van Klink, but also Monica Luijendijk who is an expert in helping you prepare mentally for an audition. With this unique combination the festival really stands out from the other festivals that I've participated.

The level of artistry at the festival was incredible!

With other young trombonists from around the world joining together to make music, it was hard not to be inspired! It was a great experience to perform for, and work closely with the guest artists of the festival.

The Lätzsch festival was a wonderful experience for me. I had the chance to spend some time with colleagues from my surrounding, as well as to meet trombonists from all over the world. I had great time with having lessons with Brandt Attema and being able to meet him in person and enjoy his great musicianship expand my view on music. Hearing him play live was one of the greatest moments in my career as a trombone player. Next to that I met outstanding teachers such as Martin Schippers and Martin can den Berg. Working with them towards the final competition was a fantastic way to improve my abilities as a performer and develop my knowledge in the field of orchestral excerpts, as well as in solo and ensemble pieces.
